摘要

A paper discharge apparatus includes a conveying path (L) configured to convey a paper (P) from an upstream portion to a downstream portion. A preventing mechanism (51) is provided on the conveying path (L). The preventing mechanism (51) is configured to prevent the paper from being conveyed to the downstream portion by pushing the paper or blocking the conveying path (L). A control unit is configured to bend the paper by preventing the conveyance of the paper by using the preventing mechanism (51), and then convey the paper to the downstream portion of the conveying path (L) for discharge of the paper from the conveying path.
